Description

This unit examines research methods commonly used in accounting research, including experimental research, survey research, field research and research using available data. The unit is designed primarily for students in the Honours Degree of Bachelor of Commerce. Restricted places may be available for students in the MCom degree, but approval must be given by the Lecturer-in-Charge of the unit and will depend on place availability and prior performance in relevant degrees. The unit is structured to allow students to gain an understanding of the research process and to be able to read and evaluate research studies. The unit also allows students to develop their generic skills, particularly analytical, critical thinking and writing skills, and assists them in reading and understanding research papers used in other units in their programs.
